What kind of gamer? Do I have to play CoD 4 to be HARDCORE!
« on: February 07, 2008, 03:53:10 PM »
I found this article which fits mostly with what I would consider myself. I have and do play all types of games, but I have my favorite genres. But basically if you like games your a gamer. Do you label yourself a "type" of gamer.

Im sure most have heard this,"Im a hardcore gamer cause I play "insert genre" type of games. Im not big on "my genre" is better/more hardcore then yours attitude or people who will compare graphics over content to some degree. If you like a game dont let what someone would say knock what you enjoy. And vise versa. Im lucky to have friends whom we are all  "people who just play games" to "HARDCORE GAMERS!" Works out so that, what ever, who ever, wants to play, we will all enjoy it. Almost forgot, "F***" the whole PCs vs. Consoles. Play games, to play games!

Now for the article "Mid-Core Gamer":

Manifesto of the top-10 things that Mid-Core Gamers would like to see in games:

So what kind of gamer are you?
I was considering making a poll :?:  I'll think about it :idea:

Sick, I bet it's awesome to scream at your teammates on voice chat like a prepubescent banshee.

You ARE hardcore.

1. Save Anywhere:


I agree with that.  Pause anywhere would be great, too.  I've missed a lot of stuff because the phone rang during a long-ass cinematic.

Saving in a game like Mass Effect can mean not re-doing entire storyline planets

I used to be apart of MLG for Rainbow Six Vegas, then airsoft moved ahead of it. I figured why play it instead of doing it.

Dude, what are you talking about? That made no sense, and MLG is not all its cracked up to be. Video games are great until you realize you are either wasting your life or turning into a freak. They are GAMES. Im not saying there not fun, but seriously.... enjoy it now while you can, because later on you will have a choice to make.....
